Biscotti al cioccolato e datteri
Ingredienti
- 8 Datteri Medjool - pitted, 120g/4.2oz (note 1)
- 3 cucchiai Burro di arachidi - (nota 2)
- 1 cucchiaio Polvere di cacao - (nota 3)
Optionl
- 1-2 cucchiaini Acqua tiepida
- 2 cucchiai Chocolate Chips
Istruzioni
- Preriscaldare il forno a 180 °C (350 °F). Rivestire una teglia con carta da forno. Ungere leggermente con olio spray da cucina. Mettere da parte.
- Place the pitted dates in a glass bowl, cover with boiled water. Set aside for 10 minutes to soften.
- Drain the dates. They will be super soft and easy to squeeze into a paste.
Food processor method
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor, process by 30-second bursts, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula if needed, and repeat until a sticky dough forms. If too dry or crumbly, blend in a teaspoon of warm water.
Fork method
- Place the drained dates in a bowl, and use a fork or potato masher to mash them into a paste. If too dry, and the paste doesn't form, add 1-2 teaspoons of warm water to help. It should be soft and smooth, with no big lumps of dates should be seen.
- Add cocoa powder and peanut butter and stir until it forms a sticky dough that comes together into a ball. If too dry, add a little lukewarm water 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together. If too wet, add a little more cocoa powder. Oil your hands to squeeze the dough if you find it difficult to work with a fork.
- Form a dough ball, divide it into 6 balls of the same size, and place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Press the top of each ball a little, and press a few chocolate chips on top.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
- Let the cookies cool down at room temperature for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Ingredienti e sostituzioni
Per preparare questa ricetta bastano solo 3 semplici ingredienti. Ecco come sceglierli e sostituirli.

- Datteri Medjool – These are the key ingredient of the recipe! They provide all the sweetness and act as the sticky binder that holds the cookies together, replacing both flour and sugar. You can also use other date varieties like Deglet Noor, but I recommend weighing them to match the 4.2oz/120g, as they are often smaller.
- Burro di arachidi – This adds healthy fats, moisture, and a rich, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with chocolate. For different flavors, almond butter or cashew butter are great swaps. If you need a nut-free option, sunflower seed butter works beautifully.
- Polvere di cacao – This gives the cookies their deep chocolate taste. Unsweetened cacao powder is also a perfect replacement.

I consigli di Carine per la pasticceria
Ecco qualche altro consiglio per biscotti perfetti.
- Soften the Dates – Soaking the dates in boiled water is key. You want them very soft, so they easily mash into a smooth paste when you squeeze them.
- Adjusting Dough – If the cookie dough feels too dry or crumbly, add 1 teaspoon of lukewarm water (or almond milk) at a time until it becomes sticky and holds together.
- Aggiungi Crunch – For a different texture, you can skip the chocolate chips and press some chopped walnuts or pecans onto the cookies before baking.
- Cambia il sapore – Swapping the peanut butter is an easy way to change the cookie’s taste. Almond butter, cashew butter, or even tahini (for a savory twist) all work wonderfully.







These are amazing! One of my young adult children is on a new, very limited diet and these cookies have become a fast and true favorite. We ALL love them! I make them with a tiny cookie scoop so they’re bite sized. I use almond butter and cacao powder and press a single Just Date dark chocolate chip into the top of each. We love them and are so thankful for the recipe!
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback, I am so glad if my recipes can help your children enjoy food!
These are some of the BEST cookies I have ever made. I had a feeling they would be good so I tripled the recipe. Instead of chocolate chips, I put a pecan on top. I have baked two batches. One has disappeared but the people around me are smiling. Next batch is getting the addition of cacao nibs. I am so impressed with the ease of using a Vitamix to pull the ingredients together, one at a time. A big thank you from Canada!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment and for trying my recipe. XOXO Carine, from New Zealand.
